Degrassi // Season 1

Cabaret: Part 3

Scene XI

Paige: Okay, ready? Voila!

Terri: Wow. That's an incredible look, for you.

Paige: And you.

Terri: I don't think so. I'd look like a sausage.

Paige: Silly, you'll look great. We are so going to get a record deal! Especially after you hear my ideas for the song.

Terri: Have you listened to it yet?

Paige: Yeah.

Terri: And...?

Paige: Well, it has promise. But right now? Sounds like a bunch of cows dying.

Ashley: Paige, what are you wearing?

Paige: Our new look. You like?

Ashley: I don't. You want us to look like prostitutes?

Paige: Fine. I'll go get us some nun costumes.

Ashley: Very funny, Paige.

Paige: She's holding us back.

Terri: I've tried, Paige!

Paige: And failed. Listen, I have some ideas for the song. But Ashley is gonna hate them. We need the mystic oracles to convince her.

Terri: After Manny? I'm not messing with the oracles again. But...

Paige: But what?

Terri: What if you and I just tried your ideas? Made a new version of the song. Maybe Ash would like it.

Paige: That's a big maybe. Huge. But... okay. And I think I know exactly who can help us. I just have to change.

Scene XII

Terri: Mr. Simpson? This synthesizer. You talked about it in class once, didn't you?

Mr. Simpson: Right.

Paige: Well, we weren't really paying attention. But we wish we were.

Terri: Because we have this song here and we wanna make another version of it.

Mr. Simpson: Well, you came to the right place. This setup here is amazing. Wish I had it back when I was in a band.

Paige: Stop. Rewind. Mr. Simpson, you were in a band?

Mr. Simpson: The Zit Remedy. We even had a video. You ever heard of us? (singing) I'll take that as a no. Let me show you how this works. Okay?

Scene XIII

Manny: Toby, that's your cue!

Toby: Oh, sorry.

Emma: Ow! J.T., stop the music. Toby, you keep leaning in the wrong way.

Toby: Right. Um, sorry. You wanna try it again?

Emma: Um, no. I think I've had enough head injuries for today.

Toby: Okay...

Emma: Maybe you should try it at home in front of the mirror or something.

Toby: Sure.

J.T.: Man, how far will you go?

Toby: J.T. Shut up. Now.

Scene XIV

Paige: This is perfect, Mr. Simpson. It's so danceable.

Mr. Simpson: Y'all ready for this?

Terri: Oh, wow!

Ashley: What is that?

(Paige and Terri singing)

Ashley: I guess I missed the rehearsal. I don't believe this. You guys re-did my song.

Mr. Simpson: Ashley, it's just an alternate take. Both versions are still on the computer. So there's no problem.

Paige: We weren't trying to ruin your song. We just took it to another level, you know?

Ashley: No, Paige, I don't know. First, the name. Then, the clothes. Now my music? Forget it.

Paige: Well, I think we should go with our version, right, Terri?

Ashley: Ter, there's no argument. You know the song was better before.

Terri: I-I don't know.

Paige: You should let the oracle decide. We can all agree on that. After all, Terri is in touch with the other side.

Ashley: Okay. We'll consult the oracle.

Terri: Mystic oracle, which version should we go with? High priestess. It means... go with the new. Sorry, Ash. The oracle has spoken.

Scene XV

Mr. Raditch (on announcements): Lunchtime cabaret will be commencing shortly. Those interested in attending should make their way to the gym.

(Paige and Terri singing)

Paige: Did someone miss the announcement? We're going on in, like, 5 minutes, Ash.

Ashley: I did some interest research on your last reading. The high priestess means stay with the old. You said go with the new. You lied, Ter. Why?

Terri: Because you hate all of my suggestions.

Ashley: That is so not true.

Terri: It is! I don't get a say. In anything. It's not fair.
